Global USB Y-Cable Market Growth 2026-2032
Description
The global USB Y-Cable market size is predicted to grow from US$ 781 million in 2025 to US$ 1076 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.2% from 2026 to 2032.
In 2025, global production of USB Y-Cables reached 210 million units, with an average selling price of USD 3.8 per unit, total production capacity of 240 million units, and a gross margin of 32%.
A USB Y-Cable is a split USB cable design featuring one primary connector to the host device and two USB connectors on the other end, typically used to supply additional power or separate power and data paths. It enables stable operation of peripherals when a single USB port cannot provide sufficient power or functional support. USB Y-Cables are widely used with external hard drives, optical drives, industrial equipment, and certain embedded systems.
The global USB Y-Cable market is a mature and highly standardized segment within consumer electronics and connectivity accessories. Demand is mainly driven by external storage devices, industrial control equipment, and legacy USB applications requiring enhanced power support or compatibility. While the adoption of USB-C and higher-power interfaces has partially replaced consumer use cases, USB Y-Cables continue to see stable shipments in installed-base devices, industrial environments, and special power-supply scenarios. Asia-Pacific serves as the primary manufacturing and export hub, supported by a comprehensive cable and electronics supply chain, while North America and Europe emphasize branded products, certification compliance, and industrial-grade applications. Overall, the market is characterized by stable volumes, intense price competition, and gradual development toward higher-current specifications and customized use cases.
